the pentagon i have to say was fairly cooperative. there were different levels of competence when it came to specific public affairs officials. generally speaking, they were cooperative. but they want you to go through them and i didn't. i generally just found the troops on my own and they put me in touch with their fellow troops. it's interesting, when you were talking about the afghan soldiers, this something i haven't talked about in other interviews. one of the things that's interesting, as i went through the life of this one combat outpost from 2006 to when it's overrun in 2009, is the different levels of competence when it came to the afghan soldiers. unfortunately for the u.s. in that region, in regional command east, eastern afghanistan in 2009, it was one of the worst battalions of afghan soldiers ever. when it was attacked, when combat outpost keating was attacked, most of them ran away or hid or when through the american bar racks stealing ipods and computers. it's no surprise because actually a few months before at another

the pentagon is well funded. your regional commander could go out. i agree with your critique. the way to get to the source of the critique is not that, you know, susan rice or anybody else doesn't understood what you said. it's to follow the money and give the u.s. the tools. >> shouldn't we rethink where the money goes? one of the reasons diplomatic security is underfunded. the cuts between the state department. the balance between state, diplomacy and military are way off. >> i think the overall issue is susan rice, should she be confirmed and will she be confirmed? john kerry could get the massachusetts seat. that may be in the background. the bottom line is confirmation. you are supposed to tell the truth. if you don't, it's bad. no question. there ought to be instant replay, overwhelming evidence to overrule it when the referee is wrong. there needs to be overwhelming evidence not to support the president's nomination. i think it's unfair to play on this one. >> we have an amazing bit of tape of john mccain making a somewhat similar argument. we'll show it to you after th

the pentagon indicated cuts would devastate the country's economy. happy thanksgiving to you and your family. they have got to make a deal, don't they? >> they have to. you highlighted the congressional budget office estimates. if a deal is not made they estimate the first quarter of 2013 we would have a 4% dip in the overall economy. so that coupled with unemployment i think democrats and republicans have to come together to mold and fortify some plan, whether that be eliminating tax loopholes. cutting tax rates a bit. and, you know, cutting spending as well. rick: you mean raising tax rates? >> excuse me. raising tax rates. i think raising tax rates a bit will be okay for the overall marketplace and stock marketplace. but if you raise tax rates too much, i think we can have severe problems with the private sector not want to go hire because they are insure about what their tax bill is going to be at the end of 2013. without any clarity they will back off hiring. rick: the fed chair says make a deal here and the economy looks to be in good shape. so
